Computer Idea magazine

Computer Idea (often stylized as Il Mio Computer Idea) is a long-standing Italian technology and computing magazine. Originally founded in February 2000 by VNU Business Publications Italia, it was designed to offer practical, step-by-step guides for both beginners and enthusiasts. The magazine's format and educational approach were inspired by successful European counterparts like Computer Active in the UK and Computer Idee in the Netherlands.

Over the years, the brand underwent several ownership changes. In 2007, it was acquired by Acacia Edizioni/1Plus. Following a brief hiatus, it was relaunched in 2012 by Sprea Editori, a major Italian publishing house based in Milan. As of 2026, Sprea Editori remains the ultimate owner and publisher of the magazine, maintaining its 14-day publication cycle and focusing on modern tech trends such as AI chatbots, software tutorials, and hardware reviews. The physical magazine is printed and distributed within Italy, serving the local Italian-speaking market.
